"Dare to ask the old man, how far is this place from Suzhou City?" Shen Youxuan took a short rest in a farmhouse, and the horses drove for a day and a night, and the people couldn't bear it.

"Suzhou City, just go over the mountain in front of you." The old uncle's wife handed porridge to Shen Youxuan and the others, "Let's eat some first, see that the son's sister is hungry." ”

Younger sister? Shen Youxuan glanced at Jiang Yiluan, running around all the way, and forgot about her existence.

"Thank you, Auntie." Jiang Yiluan took the gruel and drank it in a big gulp, and Shen Youxuan also took a sip, suddenly feeling very astringent.

This is porridge, this is clearly the skin of the rice boiled scarcely.

"Childe is disgusted, we don't have anything else to eat here, I'll go see if there are any eggs in the chicken coop, I'm getting one for Childe." The grandmothers were embarrassed because they rarely entertained guests because they had no money to entertain them.

The rain-leaking grass, the rattling windows, the damp room, and the faint light of the fire.

Shen Youxuan knew that the family was very poor, and in the same way, this was the limit of what they could do.

"It's delicious, don't bother with it." Shen Youxuan swallowed the gruel forcibly, and inadvertently, he found Jiang Yiluan drinking the gruel intently.

I thought she wouldn't get used to it......

"Thank you for your hospitality, we've rested enough, it's time to hurry."

"Leaving so soon? Don't stay for a light meal? And it's raining so hard outside, it's not too late to leave when the rain stops? The old man persuaded.

"Please forgive me, I really don't have much time, I have an agreement with someone, if I don't leave, I will miss the appointment." Shen Youxuan explained.

When the old man heard this, he also understood very much, their scholars value reputation the most, and if they miss the appointment, most of them will have a bad voice.

"I'll send my son?"

Shen Youxuan didn't stop him, took Jiang Yiluan into the carriage, and said to the old man who was driving: "Drive, Suzhou City." ”

The old man didn't speak, but whipped directly onto the horse and walked away.

After the old man saw Shen Youxuan leave, he returned to the house, but found that the old woman's eyes were wrong.

I saw the old woman pointing to a shiny gold ingot on the table, and she was silent for a long time.

The old man sighed and said, "May God bless that son......"

………………

Whew, whew.

The horses kept screaming, and their mouths were foaming at the mouth, but the long whip in the old man's hand had no intention of stopping.

Finally, as they approached the gates, the horses fell.

The old man sat on the ground, looking helplessly at the tired old horse, and did not make a sound for a long time.

Shen Youxuan patted the dust on his body and took out a letter from his body, which was something that Jiang Yiluan had found from his small shoes before.

Shen Youxuan carried the weak Jiang Yiluan on her back, she seemed to faint, Shen Youxuan sighed, and said lightly: "Finally...... It's ......."

"Let's go together." Shen Youxuan passed by the old man and said casually.

The old man patted the dust and followed as well.

The majestic city, the merchants coming and going, the endless cries of selling, and a long queue in front of the city gate.

Is this the city of Suzhou? It's really lively.

Shen Youxuan carried Jiang Yiluan on his back and entered the city after being inspected by the people guarding the city.

The guard had to hold a portrait in his hand and carefully check among the people entering and leaving the city, Shen Youxuan felt bored and too lazy to identify it. So after some inspection, I entered Suzhou City.

At the gate of the city, all kinds of food shops opened their doors, and the tempting fragrance of meat filled the air, Shen Youxuan felt a faint sound in his stomach, so he dragged his heavy steps and walked towards a food shop.

Touch!

Before Shen Youxuan could take a few steps, he was pretended to be by a teenager, who sat down on the ground and cursed at Shen Youxuan, who had empty eyes: "Where did you come from, you want to eat!" When I saw Young Master Ben, I didn't kneel down! ”

"I said you! Why don't you get on your knees! I told you to get on your knees! I told you to get on your knees! Did you hear that? ”

"Someone! Give me a discount on his legs! So that he can't stand up in his life! ”
